        Universal's Magical Spot / Devil zone back bezel:

        I really do miss the era where you could find commercial artwork like this displayed in a public space. It has an amazing juxtaposition of being both grotesque and beautiful. The choice of color also reminds me of Mary Blair.

          It's just baffling...

            I have always been a fan of Phoenix. My dad had some of these machines in the early 80's when I was a youngster. Spent 1000's of hours on it.

                @mediamogul ALL the SMS boxart was pretty crappy, this is a confusing low.

                  Most of the games were fantastic, but the white grid pattern and overly-simplistic art style really made them look like basement-level computer shareware titles.

                      My choice is a little newer: I'm a Graphic Designer by trade, and a huge inspiration for me when studying in the late 90's/early 00's was The Designers Republic (hence the avatar). They have worked with quite a few people in the past: PWEI and Aphex Twin to name a few, but they also contributed massively to the early Wipeout series. I'm a minimal design man deep down, but I loved the artwork for the original Wipeout-and the team logo's were just a thing of beauty!

                        Being a big fighting game fan, I love all the artwork from the Capcom Cps1-2-3 era. Here are a few classics:

                                Maybe this Moon Patrol image can be used to create a cool launching image, don't you think?

                                  @meleu That was already my intention ! Mind reading again ?
                                  Over the last months I collected so many great arcade graphics and have multiple art & overlays in progress...
                                  Moon Patrol arcade marquee you mentioned is part of it.
                                  Lunar lander also has a fantastic Marquee.

                                  just more time needed (as usual!)
                                  :-))

                                      Konami Arcade Flyers with real Models are awesome by their way in my opinion (Devastators, Jackal, Haunted Castle,...)
